Answer:

D 7/4

Explanation:

Combining fractions with different denominators requires finding the LCD and applying it where needed.

Here, 3/2 - (-1/4) has the LCD 4; note that both 2 and 4 go into the LCD 4 without remainders.

3/2 - (-1/4) → 6/4 -(-1/4) = 6/4 + 1/4 = 7/4

The resulting sum is +7/4.
